Meet Alfred Cofino

Precision healing rooted in nature.

Alfred A. Cofino

Cofino’s journey to acupuncture began long before medical school — in the kitchen, on the field, and through a lifelong curiosity about the mind and body. After earning a Psychology degree from New York University, he explored healing through nutrition, movement, and lifestyle. Today, that path has come full circle to acupuncture, where mind, body, and energy converge for holistic wellness.

Growing up around the game of golf and working as a caddie, he developed an early appreciation for focus, discipline, and the subtle mechanics of the body. Years later, that same attention to detail would shape his approach to healing.

Before studying Chinese medicine, Cofino was a professional chef and the owner of an organic café in Vermont. Working with farmers and preparing seasonal whole foods every day deepened his understanding that true health begins with nourishment and a connection to nature.

This passion for natural wellness eventually led him to pursue advanced training in traditional East Asian medicine, where acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle practices have supported healing for thousands of years.

Today, through Fairway Acupuncture, Cofino blends his culinary background, medical training, and love of sports medicine to offer thoughtful, personalized care.
